Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the mince and onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook for another minute.

Step 2

Stir through the peas and 1/3 cup water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes on high until liquid has reduced.

Step 3

Combine the cornflour with 1 tablespoon water. Add to pan along with salt and cracked black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until mince mixture has thickened then transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cold.

Step 4

Take four sheets of the filo pastry, place on a flat work surface and spray each sheet lightly with oil spray. Stack the sheets on top of each other. With the longest side facing you slice the stack into 5 strips. Repeat with remaining sheets of pastry.

Step 5

Place 1 heaped tablespoon mince mixture in the top left corner of one of the strips and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Continue folding over and over to form a triangle. Trim any excess pastry. Repeat with remaining filo strips and mince mixture.

Step 6

Spray each triangle with oil spray, place on the prepared baking tray and cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crisp. Serve with natural yoghurt.

As you make one triangle at a time, cover any filo pastry you are not using with a clean tea-towel or plastic wrap as it dries out very quickly.

I hate using filo pastry, but I gave this recipe a go and loved it. My fussy fiancé also enjoyed them :-)
